Anomalous aortic origin of the left coronary artery (AAOLCA) from the right sinus of Valsalva is a very rare coronary anomaly that can lead to sudden cardiac death (SCD), usually during or after strenuous exercise. The anatomical variation can follow five different courses: interarterial, subpulmonic (intraconal or intraseptal), prepulmonic, retroaortic, or retrocardiac. The interarterial variation is the pattern that has a stronger relationship with SCD.

Introduction: The objective of this case report was to illustrate the diagnostic and intervention approach of anomalous right coronary artery (RCA).
Clinical Picture: A 60-year-old man presented with acute inferior myocardial infarction. Cardiac catheterisation revealed an anomalous RCA arising from the posterior coronary sinus as the infarct-related artery.

We report a rare case of primary coronary angioplasty in a patient with acute myocardial infarction due to thrombotic occlusion of an anomalous right coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva. The non-invasive method of ischaemia localisation, such as ST-segment elevation on the electrocardiogram, was useful in identifying the infarct-related artery. A major factor was the selection of the guiding catheter to access the anomalous right coronary artery and also to obtain good angiographic visualisation and adequate support for percutaneous coronary intervention.

The presence of an anomalous origin of a coronary artery as the infarct related vessel during primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction is rare and may present a technical challenge. We reported on a primary coronary percutaneous intervention performed in a right coronary artery originating from the left coronary sinus. The technical tips and tricks of treating congenital coronary anomalies are reviewed.
